To determine if 7073 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7073.
If the factors of 7073 are only 7073 and 1, then we know that 7073 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7073 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7073 is only divisible by 1 and 7073, then it is a prime number, and if 7073 is divisible by more than 7073 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7073 are as follows:
